The good news is it specifically says "New Halloween Event" for that reason!
The team are working on something fresher for this year's Halloween Event.
This new boss isn't necro only right?
I wonder what we're going to get. Ranged still needs a t95 crossbow, magic needs t95 wand/orb, maybe t95 armors for magic/range...
Or just be necro stuff, ig we'll see!
We can confirm the boss in November will not be Necromancy only.
The bosses releasing with Necromancy are that way to make sure they are a test of what you've learned in Necromancy - and lore wise, the only way to truly defeat them is to destroy them with Necromantic energy.
IIRC Jagex mentioned they have plans to do so, but not directly on release, but more so later down the line. Keep in mind the only Dyeable gear will be the T95 and not the Upgradeable one.
Rubic has a TL;DR Post where he mentions this.
Yeah this is correct. Being able to dye the T95 gear (which will be the only Necromancy gear to support dyes) will come after release.
We don't expect it the wait for that to be long, but with the amount of art going into this release, we had to push it back slightly to make sure we could spend the time on it that it deserves.
It was extremely low post zamorak
Post Zamorak was different though, and I'll explain why.
We were operating in a bit of a 'hanging in there' style on the CM side at that time.
I've talked about this on some recent community podcasts, but to put it honestly, there was a lot of change needed across the team that needed to be in place to improve our communications (including the CM team).
The way we operated, processes, how we stay a lot closer to dev in remote working environments - we'd been so fixated on just keeping up with everything that we hadn't spent the time to rip the band-aid off, step back and make big fundamental changes.
In the last half of year, it was rough for us - we had to spend the time to step back massively so we could put the right things in place to get to where we are today, knowing how much that would be a noticable drop off for all of you while we did so.
I say this a lot which is "judge us by what we do, not what we say". But what I hope is you've felt the change that's come from that hard work, and we only improve from here. We definitely won't be getting quieter after Necromancy - and for Necromancy specifically, you'll be seeing a lot from us to recognize feedback, addressing it and making changes.
Thanks for the reply Hooli, may i also ask if new Items will be added to the RuneScape Merch Store?
I'd love to rock some Necromancy Flair with a T-shirt :D
And perhaps add the OST too? I'd love to have a digital copy because I'm sure the Tracks will be amazing as always.
There is some new Necromancy merch on the horizon!
